Jennifer Lopez refused entry into Chanel store in Istanbul

Big mistake. Big. Huge!

The A-lister was out shopping at Istanbul’s Istinye Park — one of the Turkish city’s upscale shopping malls — on Monday when she approached the Chanel store, according to Turkiye Today.

A security guard inside the boutique reportedly prevented Lopez from entering, which apparently didn’t phase her.

“OK, no problem,” the 56-year-old — who stood out in a baby pink set with matching sunglasses –reportedly responded calmly before walking away without reaction.

Later, the store’s employees reportedly approached the pop star with an invitation to come back, but she declined.

Instead, she spent her time and money — reportedly totaling tens of thousands of dollars — at neighboring fashion houses like Celine and Beymen, according to the outlet.

Lopez is on a 19-stop summer tour titled “Up All Night” that began on July 8 in Vigo, Spain, and will conclude on Aug. 10 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The singer has gushed on Instagram after almost every show but has yet to post about her Aug. 5 performance in Istanbul.

Her reps did not immediately respond Page Six’s request for comment.

However, Lopez did celebrate her July 24 birthday in Turkey the day after her Antalya show.

“BirthDAY,” she captioned a 12-slide carousel that began with a makeup-free selfie. Antalya, Turkey. What a gift you all are! Thank you so much for all your beautiful birthday wishes.”

The rest of the photos and videos showed the actress dancing around a birthday cake, carrying a bouquet of flowers, singing on a stage and relaxing in a hotel.

I wish Page Six had explained why the security guard turned her away.

That's the most interesting part of the story!

I wouldn't accept an invitation back after being turned away either.

Definitely, R3.

I hope the asshole security guard gets fired.

Especially because she ended up spending a ton of money at OTHER stores, because of him.

She should be hanging on to her money now that the offers are drying up.

She handled this with class. Don't react, don't give them the satisfaction. Walk away and let them twist in the wind once they realize...

Probably her savvy PR team acting at her direction, r9.

Your point?

I'd refuse an old lady in an ugly pink teddy with her crotch hanging out too.

by Anonymousreply 13August 8, 2025 1:01 PM

Point being her reps are the ones telling this story so of course it makes her seem aggrieved and saintly. For all we know there was some diamond encrusted sheik in the store who had the place shut down when she showed up, or somebody had clogged the toilet and they were airing the place out. Who knows? There's no indication she was stopped for nefarious purposes. It doesn't sound like the same sort of situation as that time some dumb sales-lady told Oprah a bag was too expensive for her

Then why would they have asked her back to shop in the store, if they weren't apologetic?

R14 That's not at all what happened to Oprah. Funny how truths get twisted through time. Look it up.

The funny thing is the very rich go around very dressed down. Ive had this type of thing happen me b4, at my bank no less. I was in a baseball cap and t shirt and the woman behind the counter looked jumpy. She held up a bank book(back in the day) as i peered tru the glass, front door. She wanted me to show i was a customer, b4 she opened the door. I closed all my accounts, including my business accounts, which was almost a million at that time. I just looked young and broke but I wasn't. I worked in the music industry and we just wore jeans and t shirts. She behaved like I was a bank robber.

by Anonymousreply 21August 8, 2025 5:36 PM

Maybe the store turned full capacity when they let Oprah in earlier?

Reminds me of a Grammy after party about 20 years ago. A party including Paul McCartney and Beck tried to get in and they were told "sorry guys, it's a VIP event."

They left no problem, but as they were leaving McCartney was overheard saying to his group " how much more VIP do you need to be?"

I barely knew her during her In Living Color days. I grew to despise her during her P Diddy days. But her career seems to have come full circle. I give her credit for maturing the way she has.

She’s so reviled and irrelevant that she’s going the “victim” route.

Strategically sound but she’s such a Cluster B bitch that no one would ever believe she was a victim of anything. She’s a perpetrator.

Nice try, JLo. You’re a fu king pjs, untalented narcissist and everyone hates you and they always will.

I’m actually on vacation in Almaty right now. I guess I could go see her show tomorrow night?

The funny thing is, I haven’t seen any promotion for it at all. Not a billboard or ad on a bus. I wonder if anyone here knows that this concert is happening. (Kazakhstan is wonderful btw)

Garcia & Cachao put on an AMAZING show MANY years ago, that I was fortunate enough to attend/watch.

Nothing but pure fun, despite political leanings.

She's had a helluva bad week. Record label dropped her. Can't sell enough concert tickets. And get's snubbed by a shop bottom. If I were here I would stay home for a month.

Fat assed bitch whore who sucked a lot of dicks to get to where she is today. Also got lucky because Selena died and someone allowed her to get her hands on a microphone. If it weren't for all of that bitch would've remained a Fly Girl and faded into obscurity where she belongs.
